Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific resources and tools before or instead of Linux equivalents. For example, the only direct link for more information about Azure VMs is to the 'Windows virtual machines in Azure' page, with no mention or link to Linux VMs. Additionally, in the artifacts section, only Windows-centric tools (like Visual Studio and Fiddler) are mentioned as examples, with no Linux alternatives provided. There are no PowerShell-specific examples, but the overall framing and examples prioritize Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Include references and links to both Windows and Linux VM documentation (e.g., add a link to 'Linux virtual machines in Azure').
- Provide Linux-specific examples alongside Windows ones, especially when discussing artifacts or tools (e.g., mention installing Git, Apache, or VS Code as Linux artifact examples).
- When listing tools or software in examples, ensure parity by including both Windows and Linux options.
- Review all example links and ensure they are not Windows-exclusive unless the context is specifically about Windows.
- Consider adding a section or callout that explicitly addresses support for both Windows and Linux environments in DevTest Labs.
